The scooter we are looking at is called GOTRAX GXL Commuting Electric Scooter. It has a great distance per charge, and holds excellent value for money by being one of the cheaper options in the market. The scooter looks simple, but has the right style element to it as well, and the rear brake solution on this scooter is among the finest I have seen.

Despite a lot of good things, there are a few minor hiccups that you must know about the scooter. For starters, there is no brake light on the scooter.

If you have not guessed already, we are talking about the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter. Now the good thing about this scooter is that it carries the traditional Xiaomi formula, and that is to deliver good prices, and amazing features. Now the good news here is that the design is great, the features are amazing, and you have a build quality that is one of the finest you could think about. You can even fold the scooter when not in use. You also get a fairly well designed app that allows for statistics, and other monitoring.

On the other side, the only issue I have is that the bell design on this scooter is not as intuitive. It is not a problem by any means as the scooter is still great. Just that the readers should know about.

Overall, the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter is a great electric scooter that is affordable, and works really well. Xiaomi certainly did not try to save money by giving mediocre build quality, so that is another great thing.

The scooter we are looking at today is XINAO NANROBOT D5+High Speed Electric Scooter. Now I know that the company is not as well-known as some of the other options on the list, but that does not mean that this should be taken lightly in any way. To start things, you get dual 1000 watt motors; one is for the front and one is for the rear, and you have excellent built quality, and the best part about this scooter is that it only takes 3 hours in total to charge.

“Best Style Oriented Scooter”

Just when I thought that the electric scooters in the market could not get more hip than they already are, a company named Swagtron came out with Swagtron Swagger 5. I know this sounds right out of some movie, or a music video, but let’s not judge a product based on how it is named.

There are certainly a lot of positive points about the Swagtron Swagger 5. For starters, it is actually a smart scooter that has some deep customization options to a point that you can actually customize how your ride is going to be. Additionally, for the price you are paying, you are getting a lot of great features that are otherwise missing from budget scooters. Last but not the least, the scooter also offers an impressive distance on a single charge.

Overall, there is not a lot to hate about the Swagtron Swagger 5. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of good things. However, the one thing that I noticed is that the battery life is somewhat average. I am not saying it is bad by all means, you just might not be able to get the most mileage out of this.

In conclusion, the Swagtron Swagger 5 is a great option for those who are looking for the stylistic element.

Pros

Stylish design.

Good build quality.

Simple to use.

Has all the right features you can ask for.

Can be customized to your liking through the companion app.

Cons

“Best Scooter for First Timers”

The last electric scooters on our list is from a company called TianRun. Now I know that they are not as well known as some of the other companies that we have reviewed so far, but the good thing is that if you are looking for a scooter that you want to buy for first timers, then the good news is that this is the one that you should go for.

Right off the bat, the one thing that makes this scooter absolutely worth it is the price you are paying. It is by far the cheapest option available in the market. However, do not take the cheap price for a subpar quality. As a matter of fact, the build quality is great for what you are paying, and the solid materials are used through and through. The motor is on the weaker side as compared to what many are used to, but it does not have much affect thanks to the price.

Not a lot of bad things can be said about this scooter. Simply because you are paying such a low price. Sure, if this were an expensive scooter, there would have been nitpicking, but as for the price point, it would be unfair to judge this scooter.

Overall, I would say that if you are looking for a good scooter for the first timer, then the TianRun Electric Scooter is actually a great option that you should go for. Sure, you do not get some of the industry leading hardware features, but the price more than makes up for it.

Pros

Relatively good performance.

Good build quality.

Simple to use.

Cons

None
